| Description: | Asterisk provides a way to set tos and cos fields in IP headers. But as stated in documentation:
======= Since IAX connections combine signalling, audio, and video into one UDP stream, it is not possible to set the TOS separately for the different types of traffic ======= So the packet priority is assigned to all packets sent from IAX socket; Which minimizes the benefit of having packet priority. If there are separate settings for trunk packets only, users can increase priority of signaling only; to ensure that control packets *only* get better chance than other packets. I have working patch for this feature, will attach it. | ||
